Jesus christ been here and goneWhat a painful price to payHe's left his life in a thunderstormTears cold dark eyes uponSwing pendulum, swing lowGot no place to call my ownOh my lord don't you bother meI'm as tired as a man can beI'm as tired as a man can be

Jesus christ been here and goneWhat a painful place to leaveWith frost on the limbs of a cherry treeThis cold, cold wind is buryin' meSwing pendulum, swing slowGot no time to call my ownOh my lord don't you bother meI'm as tired as a man can beI'm as tired as a man can be
